Is your organization moving towards cloud
computing solutions? If so, these initiatives can
typically be viewed as two different types of
projects.
1. Moving application servers and databases to
cloud servers such as Amazon AWS or Microsoft
Azure.
2. Migrating files and data into cloud storage.
How can this be done without disrupting your
current EUC and Model controls? CIMCON can help.

We recently engaged with a client moving their
CIMCON application and database to Amazon AWS.
This customer, who has been successfully managing
their EUC risk and implementing controls for
years using EUC Insight Inventory, began moving
their IT server infrastructure to the cloud.
The project to migrate the EUC Insight server was
conducted in 3 phases

1. A proof of concept was conducted to ensure
performance over their VPN, and that necessary
access and security were in place. Once the pilot
was successfully completed, the migration to AWS
was approved.
2. The EUC Insight server was moved into
production on Amazon servers. This transfer was
done without disturbing business as usual.
3. The monitored EUCs were moved to cloud
servers. While this was a separate project, there
was a need to ensure that connectivity between
EUC Insight and the files being monitored was
never lost.

While this customer chose to use Amazon AWS as
the platform for both storing files and hosting
server applications, there are several choices.
Companies can host their own cloud environment or
utilize cloud servers hosted by CIMCON.
These can be AWS or Microsoft Azure servers. In
addition, the monitored EUCs can stay on premise
or be stored on cloud servers such as SharePoint,
OneDrive, Box, or Amazon.
